On March 27th, 2023, the car was parked and off for only approximately 5 minutes when the engine caught fire. The engine and vehicle is a complete loss. A claim has been filed with Farm Bureau insurance. There were no engine warning lights, smells, or smoke during or after driving, until the 5 minutes passed when the car was turned off. I did not locate any engine recalls due to fire for a 2007 Grand Prix. I noticed earlier models recalled due to potential fire.

I have same problem as others. Have been able to start car sometimes by putting it in neutral. Several years ago I left the car with our son to see if he could figure out the problem because my wife quit driving the car after being stranded a few times. When using blinkers the high beam would come on. It has a roaring sound like a wheel bearing going out.the key fob doesn't work. I've been told the BCM body control module could be causing problems. Had estimate of $500 to replace and program new BCM.. we have towed car home after going to store. I used to drive otr so we got a second vehicle to drive. After reading other posts on this car 4/4/2021 I don't think I want to put more money into it. Especially when I've read GM techs can't fix the problems.. once the vacuum line to brake booster came off when my wife was going down hill. I put the line back on, it hasn't done that again. We have not driven the car out of town for fear of it breaking down. And shops not being able to tell us what is wrong with it.. I tied a cable on trunk release so I can open trunk.. we did love the car when it was running. Has 193,000K at this time. Has stalled/quit on city streets. And we quit driving it on highway.

I have a secondary air issue that we can't seem to get fixed, even with all the parts we have replaced. Also at night every time I use my blinker the high beams come on and won't turn off. The issue is when im driving at night it seems to happen when my blinker clicks back into place.

My "reduced engine power" light came on. Used a snap on $5000 scanner. Codes say gas pedal sensor. Changed that problem still exists. Cleaned throttle case. Car stalls and I have to press gas pedal to the floor to get it to 20 miles an hour. There are so many blogs on this problem its unbelievable. I just had the recalls fixed on the ignition and head lights. Now this issue. Please help. Im single, homeless, and unemployed. This is the last thing I need right now.

Random misfire code won't go away since weeks after purchasing my vehicle which was then under warranty. The dealership replaced the car computer & ignition coil module, spark plugs and the code temporarily went away good enough to pass emissions. They also performed the key recall the code keeps coming & no mechanic or dealership can tell me why but they keep taking my money for a temporary fix.the dealership said I needed a new catalytic converter. I have replaced 5 sensors, the ignition coil module twice, the catalytic converter, all six fuel injectors, the fuel pump and had 3 major tune ups. To date the engine light shuts off temporarily and always returns with the same two codes P0300 & P0420. It flashes occasionally but stays steady most days.no work done is turning the engine light off for good.

While driving, especially when the temp is under 40 degrees. I randomly get error with traction control off and reduced engine power. I have trouble accelerating and keeping speed. Which has been very dangerous to get to a safe spot on the expressway to pull off, when my speed suddenly changes. This has been happening for the last 3 years during the cold months and I have got items cleaned and sensors changed to no end.

Crank shafts position sensor causes the engine to shut off while driving down the road. Resulting in the loss of power steering, and power brakes. This occurs at all speeds from stop and go traffic at less than 5 mph to highway speeds of 70 mph +. this is a very dangerous issue. Adding the recall piece to the key did nothing to remedy the issue. This has been occurring for 2 years now.

I drove my Pontiac to cvs and returned home without any problem. Parked the car as usual and went into my home. About 15 minutes later, my neighbor came to my door to alert me that my car was on fire. She stated that she had already called 911 so I jumped into action and got my water hose to try and contain the fire. There were flames coming from under the hood.the car burned for around 10 minutes before the fire department showed up. The fire department had to use the jaws of life to open the hood. There was no recent work done to the car and it was running normal. There was no indication that this was going to happen. The car has been deemed a total loss by allstate.

When I would come to a stop and hit the gas to take off the car hesitate to go rpms going up but the car would act like it was not in gear. Then a jerk would occur and the car would take off making it scary to pull out into traffic. It took many times going to the dealer before they repaired it, it was linkage in the transmission, it was wore out. 5 years later it is doing the same thing.

Very upset with the fact that General Motors is not giving loaner vehicle to consumers who have ignition recall 14350. I have a young child and I am not okay putting his life in danger when I know it can be avoided. GM said that it is not dangerous and parts may become available after October 1st. However, if my car's ignition were to move from the run position while I am driving engine power, power steering, and power braking may be effected increasing the risk of a crash. If the ignition switch is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or fatality. This is from the recall notice GM is sending out. Yet they are telling me over the phone that it is safe to drive and I shouldn't worry about it. Very disappointed with the lack of concern from GM.
